FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Nine members of the New England Revolution Under-18 team have announced their commitments to college soccer programs, which they’ll join this summer ahead of the Fall 2015 semester.

"We look forward to seeing the continued development of our Academy graduates at the collegiate level," Revolution director of youth development Bryan Scales said.
